Having postponed this Trip couple of times we finally decided if we couldn’t wait any more as the season is approaching fast. Since it had been raining continuously I had to rely on www.fallingrain.com for the weather updates. (Esp. Thanks to Ashan). Upeka who had done this trip too was a great help.

We started our Journey early in the morning, had our Breakfast on the way. Since the weather was good we did not have any problems in the way. You have to turn to left just passing the Mohini Ella (15 Km sign is there near the Turn) to enter in to Murray estate, You have to travel about 8 kms to reach the Rajamale which is the border of the Siripa forest reserve.
